Gehaktballen: Dutch meatballs – Beef Veal Food Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

1 cup lean ground beef

1 cup lean ground pork

1 egg

2 slices white bread, crusts removed

1 small onion, minced

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon curry powder

1/2 teaspoon ground mace

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

3 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup water or beef stock

ketjap manis or Maggi seasoning to taste

Mix the meat with the egg, bread, onion, salt and spices and form

4-5 meatballs. Chill for about 30 minutes. Make into 4-6 meatballs.

Heat the butter and brown the meatballs for about 15 minutes,

turning them a couple of times. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook

the meatballs for another 15 minutes, turning a few times. Remove

the meatballs, add the water or beef stock and bring to a high

heat. Add a little ketjap manis or Maggi seasoning to the mixture

and you will have a lovely gravy to serve with the meatballs.

NOTES : Some people coat the meatballs with breadcrumbs before

frying. We soak the bread in a bit of milk, and then press out

the milk from the bread before adding to the ground beef. We almost

always use just the ground beef, and it is very good. This is good

served with homefries and lots of mayonnaise.
